A photograph of an outdoor evening gathering at night under string lights. In the left foreground, a figure in saffron-orange robes, an orange head wrap and a long white flower garland reaches out with a bare arm, wearing gold bangles, to touch the head of a seated devotee. Behind him, a cameraman in white shirt films the scene. Many devotees sit in rows of chairs, several women in white and bright saris with pressed palms, and a large screen on a stand shows a decorated deity murti with flower garlands. Staging lights and a crowd fill the background.
